Anyone notice if the power adapter or the plug connection point (when using AC power) gets super hot? The camera itself too?

No. Please make sure you have appropriate power pluged in. Heat is usually a sign of over amped supply

What are the volts and amperage listed on your power adapter? Did you order it for this camera or just using a generic 12 volt adapter?

Sony has updated the software to 1.1 . I have NO overheating issues. I have used it on few shoot with 3000 pix each day and haven't gotten it once to overheat

Hello! I have had my camera for 8 months and it has never gotten hot. It sounds as though there is a defect.

I have added AC clients to mine, and there does not seem to be a heat issue, at first it did run a bit warmer than my abgn-Pro APs, but not to a level that concerned me. It has worked flawlessly before and after the firmware updates. In my situation the units are even covered for aesthetic reasons and still no issues whatsoever.

Hi there; If you keep the screen on continuously it will get slightly warm (but not hot) If your camera gets hot I suspect your battery will also be lasting a very short time. Best get a Fuji agent to check it out.CheersSimo (from middle earth)

Thats sounds really great. but i dont understand. I charged the player from my computer and my fathers computer and it was still the same. Do you think it would work better if I got the AC adapter instead of just charging it from my computer? I really like the player too. But when you use yours does it it get hot really fast??

The AC adapter is 12V/ 1A. Some customers connect the camera to UPS or solar power battery

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

I haven't had any troubles with it yet. I've kept it on overnight and for 24 hours at a time a few times. The adapter doesn't seem to get very hot. Its just powering an electromagnet so its probably not enough energy to cause much of a problem. I've had this for about 2 months now and it seems to still work fine.

nope, it hasn't for me. idk how those things those people complained about are even possible lol i've never had it over heat on me (that would seem like a device issue, not a case issue) and i've been able to take hundreds of pictures.. with out any probems!!

I am sorry to say this but now the camera is with my friend. But there is an outlet on one side of the camera near memory slot. Please have a look at it

The large LEDs do use twice the current as most cameras. It does sound like a power supply issue / voltage problem at the camera. any way to see if you are getting 12volts at the camera in black & white mode? Agree with Sam on bigger powersupply & cable. I soldered my connections.

Dear Valmore, thanks for your comments. I did get the external adapter and another coupler that was necessary, and got it to work on the noted external power supply. However, I found the slow-motion options to be impossible except when working under open strong daylight. Otherwise, the amount of light entering each frame was way to low to do anything with. One would have to post-process the image files to increase their brightness and contrast, so I decided to return the camera.

The real GS8000 get very hot. I have never herd of the knock offs getting hot though. If you live in a hot area you are going to want to buy a camera with a Capacitor and not battery. If i were you I would return this camera and look at ASIN B00JJ3SQRI

Mine gets pretty hot, I charge 5 battery power packs. Not sure if it is too much or not, I just hope the circuitry shuts it off incase it gets too hot...
